VIZ Ratings

Our Ratings

We at VIZ Media have developed the following rating guidelines based on our internal assessments so that
we may assist parents, educators, retailers and consumers to make informed choices in their selection of
reading material and animation titles. The ratings icons below are usually located on the covers or
packaging of our publishing and home video products. We hope you will use them to guide you in selecting
appropriate titles.

ALL AGES

May be suitable for readers or consumers of any age. For example, may contain mild language and
fantasy violence but no swearing or nudity.

TEEN

May be suitable for early teens and older. For example, may contain violence, infrequent use of
strong language, suggestive themes or situations, crude humor, alcohol and/or tobacco use.

Please Note: While we try to apply these ratings guidelines in a clear and consistent way, they are
based on our internal subjective assessments and are meant for general guidance only. We cannot guarantee uniform
application and they should not be considered the equivalent of any regulatory standard. In addition, sometimes
we may add in or on a publication (magazines, for example) an explanation of specific content, which in our view
merits the rating icon shown in or on the publication, but that explanation is not meant to be all-inclusive.
You should consult the guidelines set forth above when interpreting the ratings icons.

NOTE: If you don't receive a message right away, please be patient. At times some customers have experienced delays of several minutes.
